chamber with the air Having indicated the several parts byl referenceletters the construction and operation o1 the device will. be readilyunderstood.

The combustible mixture drawn from the carburetor is caused tothoroughly commingle in its passage to the combustion and the moistenedvapor, drawn through the pipe K, due to ,the action or the oppositelymoving perforated fan blades rotated by the suction stroke of theengine.

By a proper adjustment of the palves L, and M, a mixture may be securedthat will insure complete combustion of the gas upon delivery to theengine, thereby increasing the ethciency of the latter.

Having thus described my invention 1 claim is 1. In a device of theclass described, a fitting adapted to be located in the pipe linebetween the carbureter and the intake manitold of a gas engine, a watercooling system tor the engine, a chamber in said fitting, pipe lineconnecting the water cooling system and the fitting tor the supply ormoistened vapor to the fitting, an air inlet to said fitting, and a tanin said chamber, aid fitting having converging apertures leading throughthe fitting from said chamber into said pipe line to relieve pres surein the chamber.

In a device of the character described, a fitting open at opposite endsand adapted to bc located in thepipe line between the carburetor and theintake manifold of a engine. a chamber in the fittinn. a fan in thechamber, the axis of the tan having a ($011 17 cal inner end, a watercooling system, a pipe connection between the water cooling system andshid fitting and extending transiversely through the latter to supplymoistened vapor to the fitting, said transverselyextending iipe havingan aperture close to and directly opposite the conical inner end of theaxis spreading the moistened vapor in the fitting, and means forcontrolling the delivery of moistened vapor to the fitting.

3. in a device. of the cha 'acter described, fitting open atoppositeends and adapted to be located in the pipe line between the carbureterand the intake manifold of a gas engine, a chan'iber in thefitting, atan in the chamber, the axis of the fan having a conical inner end, awater cooling system, a pipe connection between the water cooling systemand said fitting and extending transversely through the latter to supplymoistened vapor to the fitting, said transversely extending pipe havingan aperture close to and directly opposite the conical what inner end ofsaid axis, said conical inner end of the axis spreading the moistenedvapor in the fitting, said transversely extending pipe constructed toconvey air to said aperture therein for athnixture into said pipe withthe moistened system and masses 'apor, means for regulating the supplyof the air, and means for controlling the delivery of moistened vapor tothe fittin i. In a device of the character described, a fitting open atopposite ends and adapted to be located in the pipe line between thecarbureter and the intake manifold of a gas engine, a chamber in thefitting, a fan in the r r chamber, the axis of the fan having a conicalinner end, a water cooling system, apipe connection between the watercooling said fitting and extending transversely through the latter tosupply moistened vapor to the fitting, said transversely extending pipehaving an aperture close to and directly opposite the conical inner endof said axis, said conical inner end of the axis spreading the moistenedvapor in the fitting, said fitting having aperture-s leading through thefittihg from said chamber into the intake manifold to relieve pressurein the chamber, and means for controlling the delivery of moistenedvapor to the fittin 5. In a device of the character described, a fittingadapted to be located in the pipe line between the carburetor and theintake manifold of a gas engine, a water cooling system for the engineincluding a radiator, a pipe line connecting the radiator above thewater line of the latter and the fitting for the supply of moistenedvapor to the fitting, a valve to control the delivery of moistened vaporfrom the radiator to said fitting, an air inlet to said fitting, a valvefor controlling the delivery of air through the inlet to said fitting,and a plurality of fans rotatably mounted in said fitting to agitate themixture in its passagefrom the carburetor to the engine, and a chamberin the fitting in which said fans are mounted, said fitting havingapertures leading, from said chamber line to relieve pressure in thechamber.

6,. In a device of the character described, a fitting open at oppositeends, a member bridging the opening at one end of the fitting and havingan aperture therein, said fitting adapted to be located in a pipe linebetween the carburetor and the intake manifold of a gas engine, a'adiator, an axis mounted in said bridging member and having a conicalinner end, a pair of perforated tans mounted on said axis between theconical inner end thereof and said bridge member, a pipe connectionbetween the radiator and the fittiug'and provided with an apertureopposite the-conical end of the axis to supply moistened vapor to thefitting, said conical end of the axis spreading the moistened vapor inthe fitting, and means for controlling the delivery of moistened vaporto the fittin 7. In a device of the character described, a fittingadapted to be located in the pipe line between the carbureter and theintake manifold of a gas engine, said fitting having a chamber therein,a fan journaledin said chamber, a fitting having apertures leadingfroni'the chamber into said lieve the chamber of pressure incident tothe operation of the fan, a radiator, a pipe extending transverselythrough the fitting, end of said pipe adapted to receive air from theatmosphere, the other end of said .pipe adapted to be connected to theradiator above the water line of the latter to supply moistened Vapor tothe fitting, said pipe inning an aperture therein arranged in line withthe longitudinal axis of the fitting wh reby additional air andmoistened vapor may he delivered to the fitting and whereby the Vapor,air and gas may be thoroughly agitated and mixed in its passage from thecarburetor to the engine.

In testimony whereof. I sign this specification in the presence of twowitnesses.
